KARAM fall-arrest lanyards — IS 3521 and CE-certified single-leg and double-leg shock-absorbing lanyards for construction, telecom tower, and oil & gas working-at-height tasks across Northeast India. Authorised KARAM dealer at Multi Trade Combines, AT Road, Guwahati.
A fall-arrest lanyard is the connecting element between a worker's full-body harness and a fixed or mobile anchorage point when working at height. It arrests a free fall before the worker reaches a dangerous level and, critically, limits the arrest force on the body to a safe level through a built-in shock absorber. The KARAM fall-arrest lanyard range — supplied by Multi Trade Combines, authorised KARAM dealer in Guwahati — covers single-leg (one hook to anchorage) and double-leg (Y-shaped lanyard with two hooks for 100% clip-on when moving between anchor points) configurations, both with IS 3521-compliant shock-absorbing packs that deploy on fall arrest.
The distinction between a single-leg and double-leg lanyard is important for the type of work. Single-leg lanyards are used when a worker stays in a fixed position or moves infrequently — on a suspended access platform, working from a fixed scaffold anchor, or on telecommunications tower platforms with multiple anchor points already rigged. Double-leg (Y-lanyard) lanyards are essential when workers must move continuously along a structure — telecom tower climbing, bridge maintenance, and multi-level steel structure erection — because one leg remains attached to the next anchor before the first is unclipped, ensuring the worker is always connected.
Northeast India's construction, telecom, and oil & gas sectors involve extensive working-at-height activity: multi-storey building construction in Guwahati, telecom tower erection in Meghalaya and Nagaland's hilly terrain, oil well drilling and processing platform maintenance for ONGC and OIL in Assam, and bridge and viaduct construction under NHIDCL's Northeast connectivity push. Multi Trade Combines stocks the full KARAM fall protection range — harnesses, lanyards, self-retracting lifelines, anchor slings, and horizontal lifeline kits — as an authorised KARAM dealer on AT Road, Guwahati, with distribution to all eight northeastern states.

Civil and steel structure contractors on multi-storey building projects in Guwahati, telecom tower erectors and maintenance climbers across Assam, Meghalaya, and Nagaland, oil & gas platform and rig maintenance workers (ONGC/OIL/IOCL operations in Assam), NHIDCL and NHAI bridge construction workers, power transmission line tower erection teams, and industrial plant maintenance staff doing elevated work on tanks, vessels, and overhead structure — all are required by law (Building and Other Construction Workers Act, IS 3521, and relevant safety regulations) to use full-body harnesses with shock-absorbing lanyards when working above 2 metres.
Pairs with: KARAM full-body harness, safety helmet, and self-retracting lifeline (SRL) for comprehensive working-at-height protection. All in stock at Multi Trade Combines.
A shock-absorbing lanyard incorporates a tear-away or deceleration pack that limits the peak arrest force on the worker's body to below 6 kN (the threshold above which internal injuries become likely) during a fall event. Without the shock absorber, the arrest forces in a free fall can exceed 12–15 kN — causing serious spinal and harness-related injuries even when the fall is arrested. Indian safety standards and site safety regulations for work-at-height now require shock-absorbing lanyards with full-body harnesses on all working-at-height tasks above 2 metres.
